    Re: Can you regrind?

    I tried it on a manual grinder, the Trespade conical burr grinder, and it was turgid.

    I had some store-bought ground coffee, obviously not fine enough for a coffee machine.

    I had to keep pressing down with my fingers on the heap inside the champer, almost physically trying to push it through, because the burrs would not pull it, re-grind it, and spit it out.

    A lot of effort for little result.

    Havent tried it on the Iberital (um, ground finger flesh would probably give the coffee an off-taste)

    But as 2mcm says, it is bound to just sit there and choke the burrs. Er, the ground coffee, that is, not the fingers. Or perhaps both.

    Re: Can you regrind?

    I agree with the risk of blockage when using typical burr grinders, but I have recently turned a packet of coarse store-ground into a packet of fine coffee using an old blade type coffee grinder that was to be tossed out along with old coffee. Id noticed a buildup of vacuum-packed coffee in the pantry left over from teatotaling dinner guests and Xmas hampers, and thought itd be a shame to waste it if it was half good. It came out surprisingly well considering both the source and the treatment - I may hang onto the old chopper afterall 8-)

    Ive run as far away from my grinder as possible ;D

    Thanks 2MCM. I thought that might be the case.

    A dumb question but .... If my grind is too coarse can I put it back in the grinder and regrind at a a finer level?

    STEP AWAY FROM THE GRINDER Barri- The answer is a comprehensive NO unless you want to choke everything up and risk permanent damage/death of your grinder due to overload...Dont go there!
